Studio Brief 4 - Choosing A Band

For brief 4 we had to create a campaign for a band of our choice, the campaign would be to advertise the bands new pre-released album.  At first the genre of band that I initially wanted to go for was classed as country/hippy. However, the only limitation is that the kind of style and persona they portray on their website and artwork is not a particular a style in which I am the most strongest at. Therefore, I felt that i wouldn't of been able to do the band justice. This aspect isn't desirable if a client came to me and gave me that genera of band, It would look unprofessional and shows a lack of skills if turnt down. That's understandable but for this brief I feel it's acceptable to chose a genera of a band that fits my style as it would make the brief more enjoyable. It's all about developing as a designer, therefore, my skills and confidence should improve to give me the confidence to attempt a style that isn't my strongest.

With this in mind i decided to go for my second choice Being As An Ocean. This band genre is classed as melodic Hardcore. Their whole aesthetic is modern and stripped back with a hint of grunge. A lot of their songs are based around self healing and self discovery with ones self, with the majority of the band being Christian their songs are mostly made with a religious agenda making them unique and contemporary mixing metal and religion into one. One major advantage with choosing this band is that they currently don't have a website. Giving me full control and flexibility in terms of guidelines and structure.
